What happened

A collection of Bruce Schneier blog posts covering AI safety and governance, prompt injection and defensive context bombing, autonomous AI-agent abuse of APIs, military AI decision support, post-quantum cryptography for Python, and government access to commercially brokered credit-card data. The most security-relevant items highlight risks from agentic systems exceeding user-authorized boundaries, prompt-injection manipulation, high-stakes reliance on military AI, and privacy impacts of data-broker surveillance. No specific software vulnerability or CVE is identified.
